Ah, you're correct. My bad, I'd chuck it in Suppression then. My preference for the Achilles proc is because I generally open with Venom Nade and Suppression for mass -resist.

The way I figure it, Crabs have plenty of AoE (and your duo will too) so the chance for added debuff is worth more than an additional damage proc.

You're right, Gloom is a phenomenally good ST attack. What I found with my Crab was that Channelgun and Longfang were plenty for ST since I was mainly spamming AoEs and the ST attacks were just for cleanup. Also bear in mind the pets will help with ST damage, albeit in their scatterbrained way :P

I don't think I ever really used the mace blast(s), they were just set mules and prereqs for the pet.

Well, if your teammate is going for softcap (or softcapped with TT:M) and you're only ever going to team with him then it's of less benefit. That said, it gives you more build wiggle room for +rech and other yummy stuff because you'll need fewer +def bonuses to softcap.

I dunno what the end consumption is on running double A/M but it's very manageable.

Double A/M is fantastic for teams in general, so just think of your mini army of pets as the rest of your team They benefit greatly from the added defense and damage.

While it is true that the procs can only go off once every 10s and those 10s checks could well occur while running between spawns or whatever, it basically boils down to the fact that with FS you can easily cap the damage on Hot Feet.

At that point, the only way to eke out more damage is with procs. The only thing you're missing out on for the Hot Feet proc-crazy slotting is acc and end rdx. Acc can be made up with global bonuses and end rdx isn't a huge deal with Transference.

Heh, I was gonna come in here and shamelessly plug my Traps guide. Dankeschön

For further info re: secondaries, if you don't want redraw I'd recommend Ice or Rad. Both have pretty good AoEs which is good for Traps/ as well as reliable ST mitigation which Traps lacks.

Traps provides whole-spawn mitigation, then unload your AoEs and use Cosmic Burst/Freeze Ray to take out troublesome Lts/bosses.

Dark is also decentish (self heal is nice) but the AoEs are cones which is a little counterproductive to Traps' toebombing nature. You'd be doing a lot of hopping in and out of spawns. That said, the -tohit combined with the +def of the FFG would give you a lot of safety for toebombing with Trip Mine.

Oh god, IT CANNOT BE UNSEEN

You can overpower the PTOD if you stack enough hold Mag. It's 50+ IIRC.

You need enough recharge for permadom, well slotted ST hold and having a fast-animating hold (Fire and Mind) helps too.

Yo dawg I heard you like pet peeves so we put a pet peeve in yo' pet peeve

I personally know of 2 good Emps. One pretty much only plays his for PvP, the other never plays hers anymore.

Makes me sad, yo.

Edit: Make that 3 Emps, but the third never plays her Emp anyway

The Monument of Iron is fantastic though.

Mez protection for squishies? Do want.

That's a really clever idea and could still work with non DA Tanks as long as they're /EM, you'd just need more.

How much stun protection do the Greens have?

It's certainly interesting to think about. People use holds to take out the Greens but it's not like Controllers/Doms have ST stuns they can spam, just holds.

You don't think anyone would have noticed if Hami could blast the Mitos given the size of his AoE? Especially given evacless raids?

Edit: I should clarify my thoughts on this. While I think its a neat idea (especially because of utilising the invisi-Mito-platforms) it's not going to work. I don't think trying to reinvent the wheel is the best way to go about this.

Now, if I'm wrong and Hami can damage the Mitos without being confused or vice versa I shall locate my nearest chapeau and consume it post haste.

Hahaha, oh man, this.

It may or may not be fixed in an upcoming rather large patch my whining paid off, hooray!
